Yes, it is, definitely. Eating junk foods is unhealthy. It should not be encouraged especially to children.

It is only an eating disorder when the diet solely consists of these non-food, vitamin free chewable items. Junk foods are mostly made of appetite-triggering substances such as salt and sugar and can become a vicious cycle.

Are eating disorders a lifestyle choice?

While the initial behaviors defining eating disorders such as starving oneself, excess food consumption, and purging are voluntary behaviors, it only becomes an eating disorder when the person has little control over these actions and develops anxieties about their bodies, their weight, and food.

At that point they have chosen their eating disorder as their lifestyle.
